2025 Spring Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

 

Dear Coffee Loving Friends,

I appologize for not blogging for a long time, but while there another Coffee Lovers Blog Hop going on it gives me reasons for starting the blogging again.

First you should go over to the

 2025 Spring Summer Coffee Lovers Blog

to see what is going on and what is there to win!!

Last night I had a zoom class by Michael Strong

and one of his cards inspired me to make this coffee card.

I used all Michael's stamps (except sentiment):

butterfly

mini coffee cup

cloisonne octagons

and a spoon die from my stash

Here are all the cards we made last night

and you can see the card that inspired me:

These zoom classes started during covid and are still going on.

Usually avery 3rd week of the month. You pay Michael and you

receive a package with materials for all the cards at home in

time for the class.

With the difficult posting to The Netherlands  get digital

instructions and make up my own cards as I have most of

the stamps. Feel free to send Michael an email if you want to

play too: stamper.strong@gmail.com

Thank you for looking and 

have a great caffeinated Sunday!

digital printable by my friend Paulette Slater.

I used a die and shiny white paper for the background.

The sentiment is what was in my messenger this morning

and the snowmen where in last years Winter Club.

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge: August

CCCC32

Hello my caffeinated friends,

Here is my card for the August challenge on the
Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Blog

                                                    The theme is: Coffee and Cute Critters.

I treated myself to some new Penny Black stamps:

Brew-Tea-Ful set and

Overflowing

The cat and the sentiment are stamps i already have 

for a very long time.

The stamp of the cat is a cat in the box. 

So I stamped and embossed the cat and cut it out

after coloring. He is so comfy on the cup!

I embossed the sentiment in gold, really pretty on the card,

but hard to photograph.

I just love these new cups!

All the images are colored with the Tim Holtz distress crayons.

Thank you for looking and hope you

have a lovely and caffeinated day.

 

Caffeinated Christmas Challenge July 24: Stars

Hello my caffeinated crafty friends!

This month I knew quickly what to make for the

Caffeinated Christmas Challenge Blog.

The theme this month is STARS.

This is my finished card with an image from

JessicaLynnOriginals - it is Brentwood!

He always appears when there is a Coffeelovers

blog hop.

For my card I used the new Distress SPRITZ

Tim Holtz just brought out. These have a wonderful

glimmer. I made the background with a star stencil.

I also used it on the image and some gold

(fossilized amber) on the sentiment.

It is a pity you cannot really see it.

Here a close up! I cut out  some stars and added

those on Brentwood and the cup on top of the hearts 

which were in the original digital stamp.

Thank you for looking and have a

wonderful caffeinated creative day!

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge March: Green

 

Goodmorning Caffeinated Crafty Friends!

The challenge for the 

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Blog

is Coffee and Green this month

and I created these two cards:

I keep on seeing these Fractured Panel technique cards

and I had a go at it. For both my cards I used my

Michael Strong large and small coffee stamp.

The sentiment is prented with the computer.

For my 2nd card I used a grid background and a square

punch. This is a fun technique I love to do.

You find this greed for free on Mike's blog HERE.

Thank you for looking and I hope you have a caffinated

fun and crafty day!
